I read the same thing. He had a total of 6 30 rd magazines for the .223 and three of them were emptied. At most he could have fired 119 rounds (3 x 30, plus 29 of 30 in the fourth or it would have been "empty."
But once again - there continues to be too many discrepancies in their story. If those "investigating" can't count how many shotgun shells he just pulled from two mags (and possibly one in the gun), how effed up is the rest of the "investigation"?
Only problem is you are confusing journalism and reporting with the official investigation. This crappy story is only based on a reporter's interpretation of what he read in the official documents and we all know the media is terrible at getting the story straight when it comes to firearms. The 70 rounds of 12 guage could've been in a few boxes of shotshells and the reporter turned that into "magazines".
I'll reserve judgement on the investigation itself until I see actual copies of the reports, not some hack journalist's version of them.
The shell casing count is probably accurate. They circle those and they are part of the crime scene. My total guess is that he was dropping empty mags as he went and somebody got that wrong.
Not everything in the world really needs a conspiracy theory. It is far more likely that gun facts are being reported by people who aren't really gun people. Reporters say whatever is on the prompter and never notice that is impossible.

That must be one huge glove box.
...or one really small shotgun...
Maybe the journalist thought he saw "70" written on the report when it was actually "10".
You havent been round hear , much ,hav ya?
Pretty much everywhere. Thank God not everyone falls for every story (no matter how full of inconsistencies). And the inconsitencies just keep coming.
